I just uncovered my Viper last weekend to stare at it, so I had to check out the engine. I noticed that my collant is not at the cold mark... it's a few inches below.
What type of coolant do I use in a sled? Same stuff as in a car? Can I just got to Canadian Tire to get it?
Thanks for any help.

Prestone premixed 50/50. It says right on the bottle "50/50"
I just bought some for my buddys viper, and its like $ 13.50 at CT. They also sell water wetter, its pink in a clear bottle and made by "redline oil". Found in the same isle. It works by reducing the surface tension of the water.
Its okay that your only adding a little bit because the best ratio is 60/40 coolant, so a slightly more dilute ratio in such a small volume wont affect anything.

ALl I have at home now is some Motomaster coolant. It doesn't mention anything about aluminum though... it's straight coolant and orange/red in colour. Says it for all makes and models, good to use with any colour.
I don't know if I trust it... what do you guys think. I don't want to harm anything. I'd only need to add about 2 cups to bring the level back up... what do ya guys think?

I personally dont like the orange/red coolant, now this stuff may be different then the OEM from vehicle manufactures but I know it will turn acidic over a period of time, I'd wait and get some green stuff even though that stuff could very well work fine. JMO
